IC. My job doesn’t have roles where you can *just* manage so it’s just more work for the same pay to be a manager

Individual contributor

I would love to be an individual contributor but I’m too driven and can’t help but always volunteer to lead.

Reached theoretical financial freedom (4% of networth covers 120% of my yearly spending)
What should I do?
-Motivation to grind at BCG is not here anymore and honestly the experience here was underwhelming (~1y as a C, lateralled from other firm)
-Still too risky to open own lifestyle business
-Option to exit to industry for a few years at a 9-6 job?
-Option to do some side hustles?

Anything I should consider when making my decision? Any risks I haven't foreseen?

Thanks!
